Swimming Begins 2013-14 Dual Schedule With Saturday Meet At EMU
October 24, 2013 | Women's Swimming & Diving
The Bowling Green State University swimming program will begin their 2013-14 dual meet schedule on Saturday, as they travel to Ypsilanti, Mich. for a meet with Eastern Michigan. The meet will begin at 1:00 p.m. Saturday's meet will begin a stretch of four consecutive dual-meets for the Falcons, as they travel to Miami, Xavier, and Oakland during November.
Â
"We are excited to start the dual meet season," head coach Petra Martin said. "Eastern Michigan is a tough competitor and always swims very well at home. We will be up for the challenge on Saturday and ready to race."
Â
Bowling Green is looking to springboard last season's success into more success in 2013-14, as the Falcons finished third at the Mid-American Conference Championships a season ago. The Orange and Brown were picked to finish second in this season's MAC Coaches' Preseason Poll.
Â
Saturday will be EMU's second dual meet already in 2013-14, as the Eagles have already competed at Northwestern and against Illinois. Last season, Eastern Michigan finished in fourth place at the MAC Championships, right behind the Falcons.
Â
Falcon swimming returns a plethora of talent this season, in addition to eight freshmen joining the team. Â At least one swimmer returns from every school record-breaking relay team, and five swimmers return with individual school records of their own.
Â
Brittany Szekely set the school record in the 100 free during the 2012 calendar year, with a time of 50.31. #Joëlle Scheps# set the school record in the 200 free last season, swimming a time of 1:48.93. In the 500 free, Emily Waller returns for her senior season. Waller, a captain of the 2013-14 team, set the record with a time of 4:53.98. Jordan Bullock is back after setting the school record in the 200 butterfly last season, swimming a time of 2:00.11. Lastly, Daniela Carrillo set the school record in both the 100 and 200 breast during her freshman season. In the 100 breast, Carrillo finished in 1:00.84, while she swam the 200 breast in just 2:11.20 to set the mark.
Â
Head coach Petra Martin begins her fourth season at Bowling Green. She will be joined by third year assistant coach Michael Shelby, second year volunteer coach Sarah Reinink, and first year student assistant Alexis Kain.
